Mannol oil

For more than twenty years, Mannol oil has been very popular with car enthusiasts around the world. Its manufacturer claims that the product has no equal: it confidently adapts to the conditions and driving style of the car owner, is not afraid of temperature changes, and restores the previous engine power. What distinguishes it from competitive analogues, why can the assortment attract attention, and by what “symptoms” can a fake be detected? About everything in order.

Production of the company

In March 1996, SCT-Vertriebs GmbH produced the first batch of motor oils, which were immediately distributed throughout Europe. From the first years of their existence, they proved their high quality, competed with well-known brands and eventually won the trust of motorists around the world. Now the company produces oils for gasoline, diesel and gas engines operating in any operating conditions.

The company's range includes a variety of mineral, semi-synthetic and synthetic fluids for cars, trucks and commercial vehicles. The products of the German brand are distinguished from competitors by a unique production technology - StahlSynt, which allows to reduce the wear of metal parts due to chemical alloying of their surface. Thanks to the use of this technology, the motor resource can be increased by almost 40%.

The catalog of petroleum products also includes original Mannol OEM oils designed specifically for Opel, Chevrolet, Hyundai, Kia, Peugeot and Citroen cars.

Initially, the line was created exclusively for service maintenance of machines under warranty. However, later the company's management decided to put the product on free sale.

The development of such oils began in the 2000s, but their formula continues to improve to this day. OEM takes into account the climatic features of the Russian climate and possible operating conditions for GM, HKAG, PSA engines (sporty driving style, use of low-quality fuel mixture, etc.). The line is based on premium oils with a high index, which are complemented by a secret package of chemical additives developed by INFINEUM.

The range of motor oils also includes lubricants containing molybdenum disulphide. The manufacturer prompted the creation of such a liquid by the destruction of the power plant that occurs after many years of operation of the car. Due to daily loads, the details of the system lose their smoothness, acquiring microroughness on the surface. These violations cause increased consumption of Manol engine oil and a noticeable decrease in engine power.

Molybdenum disulfide allows you to smooth the side parts of the parts, restoring the structure of the metal. As a result, the mechanisms cease to receive damage from irregularities and their movement becomes freer. By restoring normal oil flow and reducing structural vibration, the functionality of the entire system is improved. Molybdenum oils contain a package of detergent additives that effectively remove contaminants from a car engine.

Advantages and disadvantages

Branded oils made in Germany have proven their excellent lubricating properties from the first days of their existence. Its main advantages include:

• high thermal stability. Manol engine oil can be used at any time of the year: Manol maintains a stable viscosity both in hot and cold weather. Under high temperatures, the film strength is not lost, so it can remain effective in conditions of increased engine load. Cold start in severe frost will also not affect the state of the lubricant composition; It will not only provide easy starting of the car, but also protect the internal combustion engine from lack of oil.
• Guaranteed friction reduction. The unique chemical composition of the products allows you to create a durable film on the mechanisms that fills even the smallest gaps and does not allow parts to interact aggressively with each other. Mannol oil eliminates excessive vibrations and noise from third parties under the hood of the car, as a result of many years of car operation.
• smooth the surface of the metal and remove light defects. Automotive oils have a "healing" property - they restore the damaged structure of parts and help reduce the rate of destruction. Of course, if there is a crack in the parts, Manol engine oil will mask it for the first time, but in the end it will still have to be changed. And we can't wait for the destruction.
• effective cleaning of the working area. As part of any lubricant, a detergent additive package is designed to ensure cleanliness inside the propulsion system. Additives fight years of deposits, remove metal chips from the channels and keep all contaminants in suspension. This feature allows you to extend the service life of the filter elements and prevent welding of the piston-cylinder group.
• low evaporation. Even under the influence of high temperatures, the oil works perfectly. Does not burn and leaves no residue. If you were “lucky” to see black smoke under the hood of your car, where the products of a German company were recently poured, then you picked up oil with parameters prohibited for this car.

Among the shortcomings of Mannol engine oil, fake plays a leading role. Unfortunately, there are a lot of them on the world market and you can protect yourself if you carefully examine the product before buying. Counterfeit lubricants mislead consumers into thinking that genuine oils do not meet advertised specifications. As a rule, fake oils evaporate quickly, leaving behind soot and soot, lose viscosity at critical temperatures. This behavior is not typical of real German oil. If you are experiencing similar symptoms, the scammers are likely to taunt you and force you to buy fake products.

How to distinguish a fake?

Speaking of engine oil, which has earned a good reputation in the world market, one cannot fail to mention the risks associated with its acquisition. Any good technical fluid sooner or later attracts attackers: they seek to attract part of the profits of the petrochemical company by creating a low-grade fake. A fake is dangerous for a car engine - it can cause complex system failures that cannot be fixed without a major overhaul.

Unfortunately, Manol engine oil is often adulterated and difficult to recognize. But you can. To do this, you need to know three basic rules:

Rule 1. Carefully study the purchased product

Visual inspection is the best tool against fakes. It can be used to determine whether the quality of the packaging matches the attractive brand of the company. Savings on design for large oil companies is unacceptable - everything must correspond to the highest level. Any original oil will definitely be bottled in a neat, attention-grabbing package.

Look at the container:

• The container should have neat, almost invisible adhesive seams. On the reverse side, the manufacturer makes an imprint with the brand name. Plastic original oil does not smell.
• All labels must have legible text and clear images. No fading or fading.
• The lid of the pot is fixed with a protective ring, which is easy to open the first time.
• Under the lid is a strong cork made of foil with the inscription "original". The absence of this inscription indicates a fake.

It is impossible to determine the originality of the oil by its color and smell, therefore, when examining containers with lubricant, you should rely only on your attention.

Rule 2. Don't save

It's no secret that the first thing we pay attention to is the price. If it is attractively low, the consumer will most often grab the product and run to the checkout, so as not to miss the opportunity to save. That's just for such a cost, the risks of acquiring a fake are too high.

The maximum discount on engine oils should not exceed 20%. Otherwise, you will have to start getting used to walking from the moment you buy it.

Rule 3: Don't buy branded products from dubious outlets

When buying Mannol engine oil, you should refuse to visit dubious outlets, markets and department stores. You will never find original products there. On the official website of the German lubricant in the "Where to buy" section you will find a complete list of brand branches in the nearest settlement to you. As an additional protection against fakes, it is advisable to ask sellers for quality certificates for purchased technical fluids.

We select oil for the car

The selection of oil by car brand can be made directly on the official website of the manufacturer. To do this, on the main page, click on the "individual selection" tab. First, the system will ask you to specify the category of the vehicle: cars, trucks or industrial vehicles. Next, you need to enter the make, model/series of the car and modification of your engine. After entering the data, press the "select" button.

In addition to motor lubricants, on the site you can pick up transmission fluids, air, cabin and oil filters, brake pads, automotive fluids and some auto parts. This service is convenient to use before car maintenance; after all, it saves a lot of personal time.

Important! After displaying the search results for all lubricants, you need to open the car manual and compare the recommendations of the car manufacturer with the technical parameters of the brand's products. Filling under the hood with a viscosity that is not in the manual is dangerous, as this can lead to serious damage to the engine system.

And finally

If you do not have the opportunity to go to the nearest company store, you can buy Mannol engine oil through the online store. Here the entire range of motor oils will be presented with an indication of their exact cost. It is enough to register on the site, select the desired lubricant and send to the basket. After the package of your purchases is formed, you need to proceed to pay for it. Please note that the manufacturer offers two possible ways to deliver the goods: self-delivery (from the company store) or using a transport organization. You will have to pay extra for the latter separately, however, with this method, you will receive engine oils in a few days at home.

The convenience of remote purchases through this online store also lies in the guarantee of obtaining original motor oils.
